Ingredients
  

  • For the Salad
  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast, diced
  • 1 large apple, diced (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
  • 1 cup seedless grapes, halved
  • 1 stalk celery, thinly sliced
  • ½ cup toasted walnuts, roughly chopped
  • ¼ cup red onion, finely chopped (optional)
  • 2 cups mixed salad greens
  • For the Dressing
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Dressing : In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, honey, salt, and pepper until smooth and well combined.
  • Prepare the Salad Ingredients : Dice cooked chicken, apple, and halve grapes. Slice celery and finely chop red onion if using. Toast walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat until lightly browned and fragrant.
  • Combine the Salad : In a large bowl, combine chicken, apples, grapes, celery, and red onion. Add the dressing and toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly. Fold in toasted walnuts last to maintain crunch.
  • Assemble the Salad : Place mixed greens on a serving platter or individual plates. Spoon the chicken salad on top and garnish with extra walnuts or a few grape halves.
